Os not coming up after i set mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda8

mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda8 ( this is /tmp directory )

How to resolve ??

one of my friend told me that you have changed sticky bit permissions on /tmp

boot linux in single user mode and then run

chmod 1777 /tmp


will it solve the problem ?

Have you read and understood fsck's upfront output?
Not knowing what it output before, and taking into account that this is your /tmp file system, i.e. a data loss were not disastrous, I'd reply: "yes" - at your own risk!

i executed

fsck -y /dev/hda8

and it resolved my problem.
